Mrs Blanch — hand made in OxfordMrs Blanch home

About

Welcome to Mrs Blanch. Here you can see where all the fun happens and some of the items I have created from fused glass and lovely fabric.

Mrs Blanch at work in the studio

Having lived and worked in Oxford all my life and with my children leaving home I decided it was time to branch out and pursue my interests in crafts. I started with textiles which I have always been interested in and began creating bags and small items which I started selling at craft fairs.

I have made my own patterns for some of my bags and love the challenge of creating something that is fit for purpose and beautiful to look at.

If you would like any further information please do not hesitate to contact me.

Fused glass pieces in the kiln

Each piece of kiln formed glass is unique and made using a variety of transparent, opal and decorative glass which is then fused at high temperatures in the kiln. Once it has been fused, it can then be slumped in a mould to form a dish or bowl.

A selection of hand made fabric bags

My bags are my other passion and are made out of a variety of fabrics to suit their use. These make ideal gifts — fill with your favourite toiletries, a first aid kit or a shoe polishing kit to send your loved ones off on their travels or to make their way in the world!

Fused glass dishes on display at a craft fair

You can find my crafts at sales or email me. I'm sorry but due to the individual nature of my glass pieces it is not possible to send them via mail at present however, if you are local you can collect them in person or visit me at one of my fairs. I am very happy to send out my jewellery pieces and textiles by post. Please state the reference number so that I know which piece you are referring to.
